Brisbane's Queen St Mall was opened in 1982, just in time for the opening of the Brisbane Commonwealth Games. The mall occupied a 500 metre section of Queen Street which had been Brisbane city's main traffic thoroughfare. Now it is very difficult to imagine Brisbane without the Queen St Mall which is a real oasis and always seems to be alive. Another pic in "Director's Cut".
So much to study! Viewed it large so I could see details such as the signs, the architecture, the plants. Looks like a nice place to stroll (and take photos). I'm enjoying your Brisbane tour.
